This note covers the
following topics: Steady-State Conduction - One Dimension, Steady-State
Conduction - Multiple Dimensions, Unsteady-State Conduction, Principles of
Convection, Empirical and Practical Relations for Forced-Convection Heat
Transfer, Natural Convection Systems, Radiation Heat Transfer, Condensation and
Boiling Heat Transfer, Heat Exchangers, Mass Transfer.
Practically
all the operations that are carried out by the chemical engineers involve the
production or absorption of energy in the form of heat. The study of temperature
distribution and heat transfer is of great importance to engineers because of
its almost universal occurrence in many branches of science and engineering.
This lecture notes has contents as follows : Introduction to Heat Transfer,
Convective Heat transfer, Heat Exchangers, Radiation Heat Transfer,
Evaporation.
